The Refreshing Organic Mist Sunscreen I Am Using Daily

Coola Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 18

It’s peak hot girl summer over on the East Coast, and by that I mean I am melting. It’s a sweltering mix of dry heat and thick humidity and I will take any relief I can get. I recently tried a new water mist sunscreen, which vaguely reminded me at first glance of my mother’s Evian spray from back in the day. Apparently, it’s still a popular beauty item. However, my new perk-me-up has SPF and smells subtly like a…

I also had to share a sweet piece about giving compliments that really resonated with me on a few levels, especially as a…

All he asked for is a giant batman cake, a Maui costume and wig, and to the see fireworks.

Before I left the house this morning, my husband said, “are you coming from the village?” I immediately thought he was making a reference to Pride, the birthplace of the Stonewall Protest, since we lived there for nearly a decade together. I was dressed as a walking rainbow. Turns out, he was actually poking fun at my voluminous sleeves, but I took it as a compliment. Here is the dress in question:…

10 Best Ear Cuffs

360 Cashmere Willa Skull Intarsia Wool Cashmere Cardigan

It’s officially peak mutiny in my house, and I’m going to have the scars to prove it. After taking a metal Matchbox Wonder Woman car (the irony) to my cartilage courtesy of my toddler, I’m stitched up and fine but permanently cosmetically scathed. A stylish friend suggested I start searching for an ear cuff, and now I feel like I need one even if I come out on the other side of this without a keloid. Here are the 10…
